This is the first year that the Junior Boys/Girls division was split into U/11s and U/13s so there were possibly more divisions available, albeit this would make no difference to the number of athletes we entered. This year 30 athletes competed in 41 mainstream age divisions.
- These athletes won 28 medals: 9 Gold, 8 Silver and 11 Bronze.
- Adding the “Adaptive” and “Kyu Grades” divisions, 32 athletes competed in 45 divisions the tally becomes 31 medals, an amazing: 12 Gold, 8 Silver, and 11 Bronze, the best club result on record.
- Additionally, two of our athletes competed in 2 Kata divisions winning a Gold and Silver.
This would total the club’s tally to 13 Gold, 9 Silver and 11 Bronze medals. There were some milestone achievements this year including: our massive overall participation, first-timers to Nationals who put in huge efforts, first matches won at a Nationals, first time National medallists and first and multiple time National Champions. A very comprehensive report is available as an attachment to the email accompanying this Newsletter. Congratulations to all of you who put everything on the mat.
